Circling Around Again
Years after I began it, I am approaching problem 800 in 1001 Better Ways to Checkmate (Wohoo!). I missed a mate in two and took five minutes to see a mate in one. I am consistently going for longer mates or missing crisscross attacks completely. *Sigh*
Although I still get in an occasional blitz game, it's only through blunders that I am in the 1300 range. I know playing lots of long games would help more, but in lieu of time considerations I am going to do a "holiday" 40 problem mini-circle out of medium difficulty checkmates from the book.
On a more upbeat note it is good to see so many interesting posts on other chess blogs including new Knights - I will add your links soon.
